History
Both countries established relations in 1964, and have maintained them since.[2] Although generally amicable, relations between both countries have been affected by the Western Sahara conflict and twice by the establishment of relations between Peru and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.[3][4]
The first Moroccan ambassador, resident in Washington, D.C., was appointed in 1966.[5] The embassy in Lima opened its doors in 1986, with Mohamed Ben Mufti being appointed and assuming office in June of the same year.[5] The chancery is part of El Olivar Monumental Zone, a protected area and neighbourhood located in San Isidro District, thus forming part of the Cultural heritage of Peru.[6][7]
Residence
The ambassador's residence is located in Las Casuarinas, an exclusive neighbourhood of Santiago de Surco.[8]
